Why am I getting pop ups with FireFox? If this is part of the NEW FireFox, I'll have to delete and not use any more.

I updated my Firefox, and within a day I've been getting pop-ups that drop all my window's "games, word for windows etc to the tool bar. It looks like it comes from Firefox. This has got to stop, it stops my work and play and really pisses me off. 

 I have tried to find the address link for the pop up window but I can't find it, (could be that I'm still new to Windows 7)
 Plz help, I've used Firefox for yrs and would hate to go back to internet explorer.

Did you make sure you have the "Pop-up Blocker" checked:

Either click on the Firefox button or the Menu Bar and go to: Tools > Options > Content
